K... Willie has been in my care for 6 months now... He is 17 pounds and 14 inches long.. He came to me at 12 pounds/? On inches because I measured him incorrectly... His diet has definitely improved and his habitats and yard time - well he has that now... Does he have a good increase? Any help I'm always open... Thanks!

Ahhh. Thank you! I'm just nervous that I might hinder some growth or something since his first 6 years weren't under the best care( they did try) I want o make sure his next 50 will be wonderful!

He looks awesome and very happy. I think his weight gain proves that. I'd say it's good. :):)

Nice Job on the weight gain!! His size will increase as he stays well fed and in a good habitat. Its amazing the difference between good care, and bad care.

Ahhh, why not... I just love when my husband announces that his Willie is now 17 pounds. I giggle like I'm 13 again.. Maybe that's why we named him that..lol
